Craft Entrepreneurship: Redefining Growth, Authenticity, and Value Creation
Academy of Management Annual Meeting Proceedings, Vol.2026(1)

Abstract
Craft entrepreneurship blends traditional craftsmanship with modern innovation, redefining assumptions about identity, opportunity, and growth. Once viewed as marginal, it now shapes multibillion-dollar markets and challenges dominant theories in entrepreneurship, strategy, and organization science. This symposium gathers leading scholars to examine how craft ventures sustain authenticity while engaging technology and markets. Panelists explore identity formation under growth pressures, strategic balance between tradition and innovation, and organizational practices linking work, family, and inequality. Together, these discussions advance theory on alternative organizing logics that prioritize human engagement, meaningful work, and sustainable value creation.
